does chris christie want mitt romney to win? this is something i've been wondering about for a couple days. does george w. bush want mitt romney to win? it's not so clear. and we do know that most of the people who have encountered this guy, a lot of them have come away just not liking him. and you just have to wonder why they're doing this. >> on the other hand, you have got bill clinton who has been so terribly effective for president obama, and no one predicted the storm was going to take that much time away from the president, but this has been a real asset for the president. >> it has, absolutely. >> so have we ever seen a former president work so hard for someone to get re-elected? >> no. i don't recall it. it's pretty astonishing and when you think of their history, which isn't all milk and honey, it makes it all the more interesting. you know, they had rough times in 2008 when obama was running against hillary clinton, and they both said some pretty tough things about each other, but they know that they need each other a

i think governor christie deserves enormous credit for saying that. he could have just been very political. he wasn't. president obama wasn't political. i think his bipartisanship is what is going to be needed after the election that we saw in new jersey and we're seeing in the northeast and we should keep that out of politics. >> i want to ask about the attack on the consulate in benghazi. this story is no longer about mitt romney's response. how big a problem is this for the obama administration? >> well, what needs to happen is a thur row investigation. that's being done by very reputable people that have served in the foreign service. the issue has to be were those calls for additional personnel properly handled. and i think the state department needs to conduct a thorough investigation. what's bad about the benghazi issue is how it's been politicized. four americans were killed. let's get to the bottom of how it happened and not make it political. it was a security issue. al qaeda was involved. we have had a good, strong strategy against al qaeda

and governor christie is a jersey guy, through and through. and what we're seeing in the last 24 hours with him, i think, is what i've seen with him over the last couple of years, wherever he's appeared. i didn't think he had the greatest keynote in the world, but the fact is that he is what he is. when he began to raise hell with the mayor of atlantic city for not following his orders, saying i don't give a damn about the election, i think people respond to that, democrat or republican. >> because it's real. president bush, you mentioned that moment as well as the first pitch soon after -- >> at the world series, incredible. >> incredibly symbolic and brave on a number of levels. he probably shouldn't have done it, but he did it. >> these kinds of events in the political climate in which we now live, there was no fireman that asked someone they were rescuing, are you a tea party member? red or blue state? how do you feel about tax cuts versus spending cuts? people just go out and get the job done, know that there's a big challenge ahead of u.

. >> when christie said he was thanking president obama, two days before it was about how the president was terrible at bipartisanship and the mitt romney presidency would be good at it. >> i think it takes a big storm to make a big case for big government and i think that's what we've seen. you have a situation where romney was calling for emergency services to be pushed back to the states and for there to be sharing, but when you've got a block of 12 states sitting together. >> kelly, one of the reasons i was told that mitt romney was so doing this bipartisan message is suburban women. >> absolutely. >> and women were tired of this polarization. >> they are and you know they're going to decide the election. many of them who voted for obama last time around may have been on the fence this time around. i think on that point i think one of the issues of vulnerables for the president has been this leadership issues question not being a strong enough leader. voila, the week before the election he clearly has shown leadership on this issue that many suburban women will be able to work with
